Russia attacked a facility in Kryvyi Rih with suicide bombers for the second time in 24 hours

On the night of August 17–18, Russian troops launched another strike on an industrial facility in Kryvyi Rih. The occupiers used “Shahed”-type rocket-powered drones in the attack.

The Russian military had carried out a previous strike on the same facility during the day on August 17.

The first rocket-powered UAV strike on the facility’s grounds was recorded during the day, after which emergency rescue operations began at the site. Subsequently, the enemy carried out a second attack, launching two more rocket-powered drones at the same industrial facility.

Currently, emergency response specialists have begun another emergency rescue operation at the sites of the strikes. Information regarding the extent of the damage and possible casualties is being verified.

This was reported by Oleksandr Vilkul, chairman of the city’s Defense Council.

Ukraine has officially classified the long-range “Dovbush T40” unmanned aerial vehicle.

As a reminder, the Russian oil refinery “Orsknefteorgsintez” halted oil refining following an attack by Ukrainian drones on August 11.
